I'm having a problem preserving white-space between two elements that immediately follow each other. For example, I can have the following two paragraphs in XML: <p>Sentence 1.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b1">1</xref> Sentence 2. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2">2</xref> Sentence 3.</p> <p>Sentence 1.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b1">1</xref> <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1</xref> continuation of Sentence 2 which started with a reference.</p> The first one will be translated correctly, but the second one ignores the white space between the two xref tags so that the output is: "Sentence 1.1Figure 1 continuation of Sentence 2 which started with a reference." I tried remedying my problem with the following XSLT: <xsl:template match="xref"> <xsl:if test="@ref-type = 'bibr'"> <sup><a href="#{@rid}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a></sup> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="@ref-type = 'fig'"> <a href="#{@rid}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="following-sibling::*[1][self::xref]"> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> Which fixed my second paragraph, but altered my first paragraph by adding an extra space after the first xref. I'm not exactly sure why the white space in the second paragraph is being ignored initially. Is there a way to write my code to see if there is any text in-between the xref tags and if not add the space? Joe Heidenreich Programmer heidenreichj@xxxxxxxx
